Helping Dad assemble yet another piece of Ikea furniture

My favorite new diet: Aaron Eats All Your Food

"New fad diet that's sure to melt away the pounds! It's called "Aaron Eats All Your Food." Think you can get away with eating your own breakfast just because you already fed Aaron his? Think you will get to enjoy that delicious smoothie since Aaron already had dessert? Foolish mortal. The Aaron has a mysterious sixth sense which brings him running at the first inkling of food. Try it today! The Aaron is available from 7 am to 8 pm daily, with a short break for nap time around 1:30 pm. We recommend not trying to eat during nap time as the Aaron has an uncanny tendency to wake up while you're snacking."

Not only was it scary for everyone, but it ruined the kids' field day (which was probably the intent). I've never had to deal with any of this before and homeschooling suddenly looked very appealing again. Thankfully it wasn't a viable threat and nothing came of it. But I was still very happy to see him get off that bus.

He might be my son
